Eric Best, 27 August 2011It has been a long time since I have post. I actually looked it up and it has been 5 years! I designed this studio with much help from the people in this forum but…
Eric Best, 27 August 2011Hey Stuart, The listening position is at 8' and the room is 18' deep. The back 2' are a bass trap, not a wall. The isolation under the stars is complete. The area under…
Eric Best, 27 August 2011Here are some pictures of what has been done so far. External image, not preserved — original: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1049914/Window.jpg External image, not preserved —…
Soundman2020, 27 August 2011That's 44%. Still pretty far back. Lean back in your chair a few inches, and you are in all the first order nulls for the room, and all the second order peaks! Wouldn't…
Eric Best, 27 August 2011The theory is explained here. http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/reports/1995-04.pdf The idea is to build a false wall to reflect past the mix position to simulate a…
Eric Best, 28 August 2011Here is another picture of the sawtooth reflector, absorber idea from Phillip Newell's book. I'm also going to use this on the ceiling. I'm thinking about hanging the…

Eric Best, 4 September 2011Thanks Glen. I've spent about ten years reading everything I could get my hands on about control room design, and this is what I came up with for a small room. Thanks…
xSpace, 5 September 2011Have you spent any time with ray tracing, as Mr. Walker and his staff did, in order to approximate what you can expect from this design as it is being superimposed over…
Eric Best, 6 September 2011He Brien, I came up with the angles for the ceiling by ray tracing and by including the ray and a 15 degree cone of error (even though these would be low frequency and…
Eric Best, 6 September 2011Don't look at the control room on the first plan. I hadn't done the measurements yet, look at the control room plan later in the thread. The second one was done using…

Eric Best, 7 September 2011I actually don't see that what I am doing is that exotic. The goals of control room as I see it based upon reading from Everest, Newell, Sayers, the BBC and 10 years of…
Eric Best, 13 September 2011Reading other posts have me thinking. I have a question about the wall between my two rooms. The framing in both rooms is solidly attached to the floor and ceiling (I am…

Eric Best, 21 September 2015Hi Stuart, Yes I am still going with the original speakers in this thread http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16933 . I had talked about going with…
Eric Best, 25 January 2017On my last post I said that it would probably be a year, it looks like a year and 5 months. Getting good use out of the live room, but I have finally started getting…
Eric Best, 7 February 2017Finished the floor so I decided to take some pictures. Image not preserved: Control room front.jpg Here is more of a close up of the wall and ceiling geometry. Image not…
